Patty Melt at Longhorn's..

Well.. the love affair between Longhorn's and my beloved Patty Melt is officially off..Why did you come to me open faced this week....that is no way be served..a patty melt needs to have both slices of cheese to meld together as one around the patty with the sauteed onions..

I'm breaking up with you and running to my new love...Studio Diner..I still love love love Longhorn's but it will have to be for their cheeseburger, Coors Light on draft and a big ol' basket of fries with a side of thousand.

Patty Melts are supposed to be squished together by rye with 2 slices of cheese all gooed up with the carmelization of the onions and burger on the griddle.

A proper patty melt (IMHO) has cheese, caramelized onions and a burger patty between rye bread. Every place I've ever had a PM also cooks it all on the griddle after buttering the bread - I don't think I could have it any other way.

That being said (and nobody call me a sell-out!), I really enjoy gyros melts (as the name implies, gyros instead of beef patty) :D

Hey cgfan!In between the cheese/patty is sauteed onions.I also add thousand island dressing inside and a side for dipping fries.

Love making vegan patty melts at home with Garden Burger (saute with the onions) on grilled rye, need to butter the bread like a grilled cheese ..stack the swiss/american cheese, grilled onions and 1,000.. want all that to meld as one...sublime

Thanks shouzen & BC... I definitely haven't had one of these bad boys (yet). So did the patty melt evolve into the hamburger we know now, or the other way around? Don't mean to spur a chicken & egg debate, but now I'm curious...

Holy crap..Lots of kisses for that article on the ultimate patty melt....SDGourmand!

When I make them vegan style at home since I don't really eat meat since my pet steer, Ralphie, left me in 1974, and I vowed to never have Pot roast or steak again and have kept up that bargain...EXCEPT..the patty melt.. and a few double doubles.. ; )

Love in the article how they stack that cheese with Sharp on one side and Swiss on the other side..I started tearing up on that...just beautiful!

That is how a patty melt should be presented..little nuggets of pure love and happiness.xoxoxo

Went recently with my son to watch a football game and have dinner, drunks at the bar cursing, very embarasing. We each had a burger fries he had a soda, aI had a draft beer, $30, no value there. Next time I will go to Bully's where kids eat free on Sunday.
